OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON TER.
olympia, FRIDAY EVENING, OCT. II, 1857.
A Merited Rebukc.


A sensational scene occurred in the
NJ. Z. Church at Nashville, Tennessee,
last Sunday. The dispatches report
that Rev. w. A. Chandler, the pastor,
delivered very severe and bitter ser
mon On the subject OF the theater.
Miss Emma Abbott, who occupied
seat in the rear of the church, rose and
entered protest in short speech
against the general character OF the
preachers denunciation. Her appear
ance showed much suppressed indig-.
nation, but her words were very cloar
and distinct.
Miss Abbott declared the minister's
charges unfounded, and that her life
was as free from blame as that of any
living woman. In all the operas of
the past week, to which the minister
had referred, there was no impure or
improper thought. The great lights
of the stage, such as Jenny Lind, Mod
jeska, Albina and countless others, had
been good women, model wives and
mothers. She defied anyone to say that
aught had ever been said against the
fair fame of Emma Abbott.
The report says that there was con-
siderable applause at the conclusion Of
her remarks. Before it subsidized Chand-
Ter said he could not answer the lady,
because she was lady. During the
succeeding day, as the affair became
known, great many ladies who had
met Miss Abbott socially, called on
her and commended her spiIisod do
fence of herself and her profession.
There will be but one sentiment
among all fair-minded people regarding
this episode, if it is correctly reported.
The bigoted spirit that occasionally
impels gentlemen wearing the cloth to
indulge in gross misrepresentation of
professions and people Of which they
must of necessity possess but very linn
tied means for forming just opinion,
should be checked, and we know OF no
better way of doing it than was adopted
by the fair prima donna. The stage
is frequently the means of reforming
evil as potent as the church itself, and
some of the best and purest men and
women the world has produced, have
devoted their talent and energy to the
elevation of the dramatic art. When
the ministry can claim absolute purity
of life and sincerity of thought, it will
be in position to make a careful study
Of professions that have been unjustly
placed under ban by ecclesiastical
edict.
